Description

The BAM! Sistahood! Project, in partnership with the Angelou Centre and Breeze Creatives, are hosting a series of seminars that focus on Black and Minority women's contribution to the social, cultural and political landscape of the North East. Over the course of three seminars we will discuss and further unravel key questions about heritage and how it is constructed and often mythologised and the part it has to play in the complex identities of individuals, families, communities, cities, regions and nations. The seminars aim to raise essential questions about heritage and culture in these rapidly changing and often politically fragile times.

In a region that has many cultural, arts and heritage programmes and yet few Black and Minority women leading, delivering or creating these programmes- the seminar will discuss the barriers and contradictions experienced by Black and Minority women in this sector and the impact of this on arts and culture in the North East.
